Lake County, IL: Strip Clubs Lose Battle With County, One Closes
Dancers, a nude club located in Palatine, IL, has lost its battle with Lake County and has closed for good.
Dancers had been fighting the county’s adult entertainment ordinance for years and racking up huge fines in the process. The parent company, XLP Corp., has paid $135,000 in fines and ceased operation.
Baby Dolls, a nude club in Wadsworth, IL, is also a victim of Lake County’s freedom robbing tactics. Last week the club was fined $204,500 for operating in violation of county ordinance.
The county’s draconian ordinance is designed to harm adult oriented businesses by restricting operating hours, customer tipping, and seating and stage arrangements.
